As of this writing, it seems pretty definite that Brown pulled off a win. The lesson here is that Democrats will have to be much more forthright in pushing a decisively pro-people anti-corporate bigwigs agenda. But will they do it? It will take a tremendous grassroots push to move them in that direction, and even then it will be very difficult.
This situation also points up the urgency of pushing for abolition of the Senate filibuster rule, which is fundamentally anti-democratic. This is something that should be taken up immediately by people's movements—including Obama's own Organizing for America.Tue, 19 Jan 2010 22:33:55 -0500Hank Millsteinhttp://www.peoplesworld.org/mass-confusion/#PageComment_2240
